Q

take the place of honour lost?

A

Can they compensate for my fallen state?

Q

Purchased as they were at such an awful cost

A

Bracelets, lavaliers:

Q

can they dry my tears?

A

Can they blind my eyes to shame?

Q

Can the brightest brooch

A

shield me from reproach?

Q

Can the purest diamond

A

purify my name?

Q

And yet, of course,

A

these trinkets are endearing

Q

I’m oh so glad

A

my sapphire is a star,

Q

I rather like a twenty carat earring,

A

If I’m not pure

Q

at least

A

my jewels are!

Q

Enough, enough,

A

I’ll take their diamond necklace

Q

And show my noble stuff

A

By being gay and reckless

Q

Observe how bravely

A

I conceal the dreadful

Q

dre-headful

A

shame I feel
